Well IA, I texted someone familiar with boardrooms and similar regarding what had happened and his unprompted response was, “He’ll be part of any consortium, then.”
I interrogated him further last night and he listed a number of interpretations of the actions but said that was the most likely.
I listened to some complex logic which did make sense – but ultimately, it can only be supposition, of course.
My personal view was that Simon had seen that it was all such a dog’s breakfast that a man, known for his effectiveness in high powered roles, had simply escaped from what he may have considered to be a Putinesque situation.
Even so, interestingly, the pair of outlined pieces of creative imagination are not mutually exclusive.
I certainly predict that the chairman and his clan will be trying very hard to rid themselves of this turbulent football club and its grossly unappreciative fans.
